Windsor Locks Park Commission approves $338,833 operating budget and revises 5‑year capital plan
Summary
The Windsor Locks Park Commission on Jan. 12 approved a $338,833 operating budget for 2026/27 and a revised five‑year capital plan that defers a Pesci Dugout/Pressbox project and lists floor repair as the 2026/27 capital priority (cost to be determined).
Windsor Locks — The Windsor Locks Park Commission voted Jan. 12 to approve a $338,833 operating budget for fiscal year 2026/27 and to adopt a revised Park Commission five‑year capital plan covering 2026–2031.
Commissioner Glenn Flanders moved to approve the 2026/27 operating budget; Commissioner Amber Hurdle seconded. During discussion commissioners noted an estimated $36,000 shortfall attributed to the timing of referendums and a reduction in revenues or allocations. The motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Flanders also moved to approve the revised five‑year capital plan and to approve the 2026/27 capital project; Commissioner Patrick Roy seconded. The commission removed the Pesci Dugout/Pressbox improvements from the plan after commissioners were told Little League intends to fundraise for that work. The plan lists floor repair and renovations for park facilities as the 2026/27 capital priority; the cost for that project was recorded as "to be determined." Other projects that remain on the schedule include a Park Department facilities expansion in 2027/28, Denslow safety lighting in 2028/29, park enhancements in 2029/30 and a Codey Way Park well and irrigation project in 2030/31.
Votes recorded in the meeting minutes show the motions passed unanimously; the transcript does not record a roll‑call or numeric tally for each vote.
The commission set follow‑up steps to determine the cost of the floor repair project. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Feb. 9, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.
